Round Tres Leches Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease and line with parchment paper a 9-inch pan with at least 3 inch high sides.

Mix the ingredients for the flour mix in a bowl and set aside.

Whip the egg whites in a medium bowl on medium high heat until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes) then gradually add the 1/4 cup sugar and whip till stiff peaks form.

Now whip the egg yolks and remaining 3/4 cup of sugar in a larger bowl until pale and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract.

Kepe the mixer on low and add the flour and the 1/3 cup milk in two increments each so: half of the flour, half of the milk, remaining flour, remaining milk. Mix until JUST combined, do not over mix!

Deftly fold in the whipped egg whites (refer to video)

Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

When the cake is done loosen the sides with a knife, invert onto your cake plate and peel off the parchment paper

Combine the milk mix, whisk well and set aside.

Whip the cream with the sugar until nice and fluffy, add the vanilla and mix to incorporate.

Poke LOTS of holes into your cake with a skewer

Gently pour MOST of the milk mix onto the cake, reserving 1/3-1/2 cup for serving

Once the milk is absorbed, cover with cream, top with your fruit and chill for at least 2-4 hours before serving for the flavours to meld. When ready to serve, cut a slice, pour a little extra milk mix on to the plate and enjoy.
